Happy #ForearmFriday, sweaties! Today for #sweatpink’s #poseoftheday, we’re talking Funky Pincha (Option 1 is Tripod Headstand). This pose used to be incredibly awkward for me! I had a regular Tripod and Forearmstand practice, but every time I tried to kick up into this hybrid inversion, I was at a loss. I felt lopsided. I didn’t know how…
Today for #sweatpink we’re talking inversions. There isn’t much to say that I haven’t already about getting my feet up in the air. There are so many ways to invert, and I love them all! HANDSTAND This one gets a big fat, “DUH!” I think I’ve well-established my love of handstand… #handstand365 – My daily handstand…
Today for the #sweatpink #poseofthday challenge, camel pose (ustrasana) and pigeon pose (kapotasana) are being featured. Yay! Now I say, “yay.” I used to hate camel pose. I always have had a tight lower back. I accept that I’ll never have a bendy, accordion back. A lot of that is just plain anatomy. But by focusing on backbends lately, and…
I love the holidays! Fresh snow, pine trees, twinkle lights. hot chocolate, everyone feeling generous and festive… what’s not to love?! For three out of the last four years, I got to spend Christmas time in a bonafide snow globe. And the last two I got to spend with my family. Perfection. This year was…
This week we’re talking about keeping fitness FUN with Sweat Pink, Run to the Finish, and The Me-Mover! Sometimes, yeah, I’m pressed for time and have to squeeze in a fast-and-furious workout at the gym. But most of the time I actually want to go run, hike, ski, spin… I used to be a creature of habit at the gym,…

Plank plank plank. Plank yo bootay! Today we’re featuring PLANK….
I’m having one of those days today. One of those days where you realize that you matter and you can make a difference. You don’t have to be Mother Teresa or the head of a nonprofit or join the PeaceCorp in order to affect someone’s life in a positive way. It can really be as…
When I’m talking to people who are interested in trying yoga, I tell them to try multiple studios, teachers, and styles of yoga. That’s one of the beautiful things about yoga these days, is that there’s SO many different ways to do it! If you stick with it and shop around a bit, you’ll find…
For years I’ve avoided the constraints of “real” clothes on a regular basis. Why stuff yourself into tight jeans, cram your feet into arch-killing heels, and prop your boobies up in a bra who’s underwire pokes your side all day? Hence my love affair with tight black pants and all things spandex. Good thing I’m a yoga…
I’m #flashbackfriday-ing to two weeks ago, when my parents were in town. For those of you that haven’t gathered, I’m extremely close to my parents. We’re a small family, which helps getting together actually. We only have each other’s schedules and geographies with which to contend. So when it comes time for them to visit…
